It is proved that a generic simple, closed, piecewise regular curve in space can be the boundary of only finitely many developable surfaces with nonvanishing mean curvature. The relevance of this result in the context of the dynamics of…

We prove that a surface of prescribed mean curvature ($H$-surface) with free boundary on a two-dimensional $C^2$-manifold belongs to $C^{1,\frac{1}{2}}$ up to that the boundary, provided it is a-priori continuous. We allow the $H$-surface…

We develop a global theory for complete hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ whose mean curvature is given as a prescribed function of its Gauss map. This theory extends the usual one of constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in…

For a connected $n$-dimensional compact smooth hypersurface $M$ without boundary embedded in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, a classical result of Aleksandrov shows that it must be a sphere if it has constant mean curvature. Li and Nirenberg studied a…

In this paper, we investigate the geometric properties associated with the $\mathfrak{g}$-stability of surfaces with boundary whose null expansion satisfies $\Theta^{+} = h \geq 0$. First, we show that a $\mathfrak{g}$-stable hypersurface…

In the Minkowski space, we consider a compact, spacelike hypersurface with boundary, which can be written as a graph on a spacelike hyperplane. We prove that, if its $k$-th mean curvature is constant, and its boundary is on the hyperplane…

We show that ruled real hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature in the complex projective and hyperbolic spaces must be minimal. This provides their classification, by virtue of a result of Lohnherr and Reckziegel.

We prove existence and nonexistence results for annular type parametric surfaces with prescribed, almost constant mean curvature, characterized as normal graphs of compact portions of unduloids or nodoids in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$, and whose…

We construct non-zero constant mean curvature H surfaces in the product spaces $\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{H}^2\times \mathbb{R}$ by using suitable conjugate Plateau constructions. The resulting surfaces are complete, have…

Nontrivial infinitesimal bendings for a class of two-dimensional surfaces are constructed. The surfaces considered here are orientable; compact; with boundary; have positive curvature everywhere except at finitely many planar points; and…

In this note we look at the freeness for complex affine hypersurfaces. If $X \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ is such a hypersurface, and $D$ denotes the associated projective hypersurface, obtained by taking the closure of $X$ in $\mathbb{P}^n$, then…

We prove two rigidity results for surfaces lying in the standard null hypersurfaces of Schwarzschild spacetime satisfying certain mean curvature type equations. The first is for the equation $\alpha_H = - d\log |H|$ studied in \cite{WWZ}.…

We classify hypersurfaces with rotational symmetry and positive constant $r$-th mean curvature in $\mathbb H^n \times \mathbb R$. Specific constant higher order mean curvature hypersurfaces invariant under hyperbolic translation are also…

In this paper we prove that any Riemannian surface, with no restriction of curvature at all, can be decomposed into blocks belonging just to some of these types: generalized Y-pieces, generalized funnels and halfplanes.

We study closed orientable surfaces satisfying the spectral condition $\lambda_1(-\Delta+\beta K)\geq\lambda\geq0$, where $\beta$ is a positive constant and $K$ is the Gauss curvature. This condition naturally arises for stable minimal…
